Brother Vs. Brother, San Francisco: Slam Dunk Bonus Spaces
As round 4 of the Scott Brothers’ San Francisco showdown begins, Jonathan and Drew both find themselves trying to make something out of nothing. While Drew digs out the lower level to create a money-making rental suite, Jonathan transforms an awkward loft into a luxurious guest room and a lower-level crawl space into a family room.
With guest judge Egypt Sherrod of HGTV’s Property Virgins firmly entrenched in the family duel, the brothers face off with a chance to shoot around with NBA superstar, Steph Curry.

This Week’s Guest Judge Is …
As the battle for best brother rages on, Jonathan and Drew are joined by guest host Egypt Sherrod of Property Virgins for round 4. The assignment: make the most of your bonus spaces.
Drew’s Canyon House
Basement, Before. Oddly enough, half of this “original” basement didn’t even exist prior to renovation. The original basement suite was old, dark and illegal — as it did not meet California residential building code.
Drew's Canyon House
Basement, After. Drew Scott’s entirely new basement suite features a bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen and laudry area — making it full AND legal living space.
Drew's Canyon House
Basement, After. To make room for the entrance, as well as half of the living room, Drew had to literally make something out of nothing — digging out the underground, unusable space.

Basement, After. Now a rentable or out-of-town guest suite, Drew aimed at making the new basement into a selling feature for the house, adding space to help take some cost off its owner’s monthly mortgage.

Kitchen, After. With a quartz countertop, spacious storage and a statement backsplash, Drew’s kitchen reno could not have come out any better.

Ready to take on the challenge, Jonathan gets his crow bar ready to take down the laundry room — and the competition.
Jonathan's Hilltop House
Loft, Before. The original bedroom in Jonathan’s abandoned home featured a dingy old carpet and paint that was in serious need of a new coat … or two.

Let the Judging Begin!

I Like What He Did Here
While inspecting the new media room in the Hilltop House with JD, Egypt points out the simple but elegant light fixture Jonathan added.
Is This Really the Same Room?
With the awful wood paneling, dingy carpet and piles of dirt now removed and renovated in Drew’s Canyon House, our guest host was completely floored when she realized it was the same space.
There Can Only Be One Winner
Jonathan and Drew take a break from playing Tile Rummy to hear who won. Being very direct with her judging method for this challenge, Egypt came in with her mind made up and ready to base her decision on "most impressive use of space" and "multi-functionality."
And the Winner Is …
Jonathan and Drew start the drum roll.
Huzzah!
Not able to contain his excitement after being proclaimed the winner, Drew now has the lead — and bragging rights — over Jonathan.
It’s OK Bro, Don’t Cry!
Drew “lovingly” consoles his brother after notching back-to-back victories.
Victory Is Oh So Sweet
